Stuffed Animal with an NG Tube

Nasogastric intubation is no laughing matter.  But when I saw Katie feeding her brother’s “moo-cow” a bottle, I did start laughing.

At first glance it looks cute… then you notice she’s shoving the bottle clear up the cow’s nostril.  Poor moo-cow.  What did he do that would require feedings via his nose?

Of course that got me thinking… I wonder if they make stuffed animals that show kids what NG Tubes do…  Maybe Katie is gonna be a nurse when she grows up.
